    WE ALL HAVE MOMENTUM CARS. Its the key to winning. lose your momentum, lose the race. There are bad drivers in every class. Just happen to be more Miata drivers out there. Simple math (present company included)...

    Andy, I admit it is fun to engage in a little Miata bashing after all they are not a minority so it is still permitted.
    Fully 50% of the cars that hit me this weekend were Miatas while they were only20% of the field. 100% or the cars that hit me that were not in my class were Miatas so as you can see statistics are on my side.
    By the way the last time I had contact was at least two years ago, I think that was… oh yea, I won’t go there.

    It's just frustration Jerry. The ITA drivers all play very nicely with each other and it seems to be the Miata's that double dip that seem to be the problem (although I don't now anything about Dick's situation). For the most part, the've done a great job with their situational awareness when getting lapped but there are still the same stories.....

    Last weekend at Pocono, the ITB leader was almost taken out by a Miata mid packer pulling a real bone head move. That sort of crap has to stop........

    DICK.........spot on race reporting! ALSO you must be the ONLY person I know who would report "Wicked fun weekend" after being spun out of a possible victory (lesson to be learned i would say) The "wave of debris" that came off Dicks car was most impressive (it really looked like water)! I also would like to thank all who stopped over to congradulate Us on our 1st victory! I did not know I had that many friends and have to admit I did not know everyone who stopped in!!!!! What a GREAT club!

    6 weeks till RAL.
